Second Sunday of Advent
"The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ" is not a book, but a presence: the presence of the Son of God in human flesh. The beginning of the Gospel promises a new beginning for those aching to hear someone "speak tenderly." Comfort will come; truth that is meaning which never decays will "spring out of the earth" - out of what we see and touch every day. We hasten that day by awaiting this presence eagerly. "Repentance" means changing to please the one who loves us into happiness.
(from Magnificat)
Father in heaven, the day draws near when the glory of your Son will make radiant the night of the waiting world. May the lure of greed not impede us from the joy which moves the hearts of those who seek Him. May the darkness not blind us to the vision of wisdom which fills the minds of those who find Him. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
Amen
